[The Post Zambia] President Edgar Lungu has called on the Church to do more to heal the nation by challenging vices such as tribalism and violence.

President Lungu says the death of president Michael Sata put the future of Zambia under a huge shadow of uncertainty as to where the country is going.

Speaking at the Anglican Cathedral of the Holy Cross  in Lusaka yesterday during interdenominational thanksgiving service for the peaceful January 20 presidential election, President Lungu challenged opposition political parties to emphasise the collective core values that unite the country and not that which divides it.

“We must, therefore, pledge to honour God by adhering to the Christian virtues upon which this great nation was founded. Let me reaffirm from the outset that Zambia shall remain a Christian nation tolerant of other religions. Let us all seek God so He can continue to bless the Republic,” he said.
